Abstract

Sustained feeding-fasting cycles may protect against breast cancer.

  • Circadian rhythms regulate bodily functions, but they weaken with age, affecting health.
  • Erratic eating patterns can disrupt metabolism and are linked to chronic diseases associated with aging.
  • Maintaining a consistent feeding-fasting cycle could prevent or reverse chronic diseases in experimental models.
  • Epidemiological studies indicate that irregular eating increases disease risk in humans.
  • Prolonged overnight fasting is associated with a lower risk of breast cancer.
